GSIEF 213B – International Portfolio Management Ron D’Vari, Ph.D., CFA Managing Director, Director of Fixed Income Research State Street Research and Management (MetLife Asset Management Subsidiary) email: [email protected] http://www.rondvari.com Portfolio management is both an art and a science. It is a dynamic decision making process, one that is continuous and systematic but also requires a great deal of judgment. The objective of this class is to blend theory and practice to achieve a consistent portfolio management process. This dynamic process is designed to be applied in a comprehensive and logical fashion to variety of objectives and constraints in an increasingly more volatile and global capital markets. This class will discuss various theories and widely used techniques for combining different investments to create portfolios meeting specific goals and objectives within given risk parameters. This class will include in-depth exploration of many of the concepts introduced in CSS-318 (Investments: Theory and Application). These include selecting suitable investment policies and strategies, balancing asset classes, integrated risk management, efficient diversification, market efficiency, measuring and attributing performance for an investment portfolio. Some considerations are given to analyzing international assets and techniques of using them both opportunistically (tactically) and strategically. Specific risks of global investing such as country, political, currency, convertibility, liquidity and settlement are treated. Key issues in managing emerging market portfolios are analyzed. This course is modeled after portfolio management curriculum for CFA levels I through III. Key Features Portfolio management within the context of the overall plan asset allocation Drivers of asset allocation decision Matching a client's risk preferences and return goals with different investment options Style consistency within the context of policy absolute and relative risk Risk/return tradeoffs as an integral theme throughout portfolio management Performance attribution as key to portfolio management success Common investment management styles in stocks, bonds, real estate, and commodities Key differences between fixed income and equity portfolio management Portfolio management applications using derivatives Global perspective through complete integration of international investment markets and topics Basics of industry analysis, security analysis, and portfolio construction Text Books 1) Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management, Frank K.

Equity Research and Valuation Techniques, AIMR, ICFA Continuing Education Series, Pub. No. 980103, May 1998, 68 pages. This proceedings looks at the tried-and-true valuation and research methodologies from a new perspective and reviews some of the new methodologies from a practical standpoint. At the heart of the discussions is the notion that analysts and investors must use not only their analytical skills but also their creative skills to determine whether a stock is fairly priced.

Timura, CFA. Edited by Jan R. Squires, CFA.) Michaud, Richard, Investment Styles, Market Anomalies, and Global Stock Selection, AIMR, Pub. No. 988004, Fall 1998. This monograph focuses on global factor–return relationships for institutional equity management and style analysis. The author uses a new global factor–return equity database, defined in 1990 and allowed to evolve over time, that was designed to avoid incurring some of the common critiques of market anomaly studies. The framework and data the author presents are intended to enhance investor/manager understanding of vital global equity investment issues. Alternative Investing, AIMR, ICFA Continuing Education Series, Pub. No. 980105 • 105 pages, 1998. Historically, alternative investing has produced high returns and provided outstanding diversification benefits. It can also be very risky. In this proceedings, the authors stress that knowledge is the investor’s most important tool for successful investing in this area. (Presentations by Christopher B. Barry; Charles G.
